It's that crazy everywhere.

You only notice it here because it's a close race and because they are transparent.

They will get it right by the time they finish the recount in December. And you'll get to watch them make the sausage every step of the way.

Because it's close... well, maybe
Because it's transparent... I don't think so.

* The Republican State DA runs for a different office, but does not recuse himself from election decisions.

* Virginia Electorial Board ordered thousands of names to be purged from voter lists just a few days before the election.

* When the Republicans are behind in the count,
the State Electorial Board changed the rule on counting ballots.
... voters with probationary ballots are now required to return in person to validate their ballot.

* When the Republicans are ahead in the count,
the Electorial Board indicates plan to certify the election results
... but social media leak news that 3000 ballots from (heavily Democratic) Fairfax County have not been counted

This election has been "transparent" only in the sense that investigative reporting has made it public.

So it's been transparent only in the sense that it's been transparent.

Not really. "...transparent only in the sense of "... i.e., "exposed"

Dr Phil says the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
But, I agree we have to wait to see how it goes from here...

The word transparent means that you can see it. It doesn't mean that the thing you can see is good or bad. It only means you can see it.
